The counseling theories that I have gravitated toward during counseling are the Person-Centered and Solution-Focused theories. The Person-Centered Theory, a theory that was explained and established by Carl R. Rogers, stresses the client’s capability and responsibility to come up with ways to more precisely recognize and cope…

This paper suggests that financial accounting thought is undergoing a revolution. As many scientific theories both describe and prescribe phenomena, so many accounting theories describe and prescribe financial phenomena. New ideas have been proposed and debated and new school of thoughts have been emerged. The priori research has been criticized in 1960 and regarded as having doubtful value.

interpersonal roles (figurehead, leader and liaison), informational roles (monitor or nerve center, disseminator and spokesman) and decision-making (entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator and negotiator). However this model came under scrutiny by competing theorists. The author used many examples and refers to experiments done by other academics to criticize Mintzberg’s theory. McCall and Segrist (1980) limited the number of roles Mintzberg claimed, on the basis that certain roles…

In the field of economics the microanalyses of decision-making and habit formations are the cornerstone for understanding rational behavior. However, the expectation of rationality in all situations may be unrealistic, due to time and cognitive constraints. This does not undermine the fundamentals of economics, however, indicates that current models and definitions of economic decision-making do not take into account all pertinent variables.

This is the question I tend to ask while learning the different theories. To gain a little insight into a professional’s approaches in the actual field of school counseling, I asked a school counselor a few questions about her experiences and approaches thus far. Every school, student, and counselor are…

In 1961 Daniel Ellsberg developed the Ellsberg paradox. The Ellsberg paradox shows us that people choose to bet on known chances rather than unknown ones. Ellsberg provided this as evidence for “ambiguity aversion,” a general preference for taking known chances over unknown ones. In his experiment, Ellsberg used the following choice problem: There are two urns each containing black and red balls. Urn 1 has 100 balls and the amount of black balls and red balls is unknown. Urn 2 has 50 black and…
